of the text. Analyze this case, as follows:

1.

In Excel, or other suitable program, develop a model for shipping the waste directly from the 6 plants to the 3 waste

disposal sites.

2.

Solve the model you developed in #1 (above) and clearly describe the results.

In Excel, or othe

r suitable program, Develop a transshipment model in which each of the plants and disposal sites

can be used as intermediate points.

3.

Solve the model you developed in #3 (above) and clearly describe the results.

4.

Interpret the results and draw conclusions th

at address the question posed in the case problem. What are the limits of

the study? Write at least one paragraph.

There are two deliverables for this Case Problem, the Excel spreadsheets and an

accompanying written description/explanation. Please submit b

oth of them electronically

via the dropbox.

The assignment will be graded using the associated rubric.
